Wealth Market Dull Yet Firm in New York Trading
The New York market Saturday showed dull but firm conditions with little trading. Bullish value factors and a near April settlements boost were noted. Railroad earnings impressed, especially Northwestern up about $50,000 versus expectations. Flint and Pere Marquette interest drew attention as New York buyers like Charles Head & Co. and J W Mackintosh & Co. increased stakes. Potential for New York control of the railroad noted, though likely limited.
